[LCP]Segmentation Faults when calling free()

[Buddy Lumpkin]

You are passing a pointer to free() that is no longer pointing to the
beginning of an anonymous memory segment that was obtained with
malloc(), or it has previously been freed.

It's much easier to help you, if you paste the relevant snippet of code
in an email.

Could someone tell me what might cause free() to segfault?  I've
verified that the memory has been previously allocated (using malloc()),
the correct pointer is being passed to free(), and the memory hasn't
already been freed with a previous call to free(), so what else could
it be?
